HOnors to an IIIustriOus Son.

Boston has knelt at the feet of one of her most illustrious citizens-the great John L.. Sullivan. The occasion was the presentation to this champion of champions of a golden belt which signifies that he is the peerless pu- gilist of all the world The mayor was present, and a councilman made the address. These gentlemen repre- sented, of course, in their official per sons, the majesty and glory and cul- ture of Boston. The speaker could we'll have sad: q am the mouthpiece of the Hub and of all the inhabitants thereof. In me you see the Concord School of Philosophy and all the acad- emieS. I am Beacon street and the Papyrus Club. On behalf of these elements of our social life, as well as of those of lesser dignity, 1 have the honor," etc. Mr. Sullivan may we'll look down upon the poets of Boston. He has outdone them in galnlng pop ular favor. He has especially the su- preme satisfaction of achieving his high reward while in the flesh and in the full vigor of his manhood; they have not yet even so much as post  mortem monument, MT. Sullivan is to be felicltated. He has demonstra- ted how to catch the substantial favor of the Boston public. Ills example, we have no doubt, will have its effect upon the youth of the community Memphis Appeal.

 Shepard 6 Winston have again broken the record of tracklaying. The rapidity with winch they have been pushing the construction of the Mani teba extension west of Minot has at tracted the attention of railroad men all over the country. On Saturday, July 10th, 7.2 miles of track were lald, working from only one end, and thus eclIpsed all former efforts, beating the Canadian Pacific record of 6.36 miles, which up to that time was the best. On Thursday, August 11th, the record was again broken, and 8.11 miles o1 track were laid from one end. The work was done in the Milk River Fal- ley, between Fort Buford and Fort Belknap, and the tracklayers say an other mile would have been laid, put one of the iron cars broke down, ne- cessitating a delay. The country there is very favorable to rapid oonstruc- tion, and even the phenomenal record may yet be eclipsed.

Apache coua,g Eusiiers

| 4OMluS ulScOuTdglhg plStufe or the depredations of rustlers in Apache and Yavapai counties.
 From a reliable source we learn the following of the band of outlaws that have infested the western portion of this and the eastern end of Yavapal teounty for so long time. Instead of the warnings they have had through the Herald, having a tendency to check them in their deprelations, it has apparently made them more def ant and bold in taeir lawlessness. One can scarcely beGeSc a set af men could commit 50 7.i f1ssHy ! and such atrocious crimes, and carry it on for so long time with impunity; but such is undoubtedly the fact.
 Andy Cooper, one of the bQldest and most daring of these desperadoes, told one of the leading citizens of this county to his face, that he had lam in wait for hlm two or three weeks for no other purpose than to take hls life. We suppress tbe gentleman's name for prudential motives. They go openly and in broad daylight, and drive oil horses in sight of their owners; go boldly to honest men and make over lures to them to join their gang promise them protection for their stock, and that they will steal their neighbors poor, and eventually drive them out of the country. They are at thls time riding the mountain trails in squads of from three or four to eight or ten, and have become such terror to the inhabitants of the locality in which they have their haunts, that the respectable and law-abiding people do their travelling Tn the night, while those who have incurred the displeas- ure of any of the gang, are compelled through fear of their lives, to live in the brush-dare not go to thelr homes, except under covec of darkness. There is scarcely rancher in that portion of Apache and Yavapal that has not lost more or less stock, and undoubt- edly this gang are the thieves.
 On this slde of the Mogollons their headquarters are on Canyon creek. On the other side it is Pleasant Val s leer-at the ranel1 of-tha.14Ea ham bnys Our informant tells us that they have made this place into fertilization, with port holes commanding every ap- proach. Inside it is a perfect arsenal, crowded with arms and ammunition, and well provisloned for a siege. The fort is never left unoccupied. There are always five or six men on duty, and in case of an attack those men are to hold the fort until endorsements arrive. These are facts, as told us by man of undoubted integrity, and who is far from being an alarmist.
 Such state of affairs has existed on the frontier before. The people have borne it until "forbearance has ceased to be a virtue" and when that time arrived, have taken the law into thelr own hands and acted as lawyer, judge and jury; the sentence pro- nounced being always death. It IS time and fully time, for the people to do the same Tn th1s case, and we feel safe in predicting that the best citi- zens of both counties will uphold them in any measure they may adopt for the protection of their properties and their lives.
